Netflix and Marvel probably aren't too pleased with The Punisher director Dearbhla Walsh at the moment.

The Irish filmmaker — best known for her work on EastEnders and Shameless — has seemingly accidentally revealed when Marvel's The Punisher will arrive on Netflix even before any official announcement has been made.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Dearbhla appeared to let the secret slip while chatting about her transition from filming in the UK to working in North America.

"One other [show] that hasn't been aired yet, which was an episode for the new Marvel series The Punisher, which I did just before Christmas, but it's not airing until November," she said.

"I directed that in New York and edited in LA, but this was my first directing experience in lovely Canada."

Netflix has yet to confirm or deny whether The Punisher will indeed arrive in November, but — if true — the show will make its debut only two months after fellow Netflix series Marvel's The Defenders arrives on August 18.

As he tries to outrun the police, The Punisher will also cross paths with troubled old friend Billy Russo (Westworld's Ben Barnes) and form an unlikely alliance with the NSA tech wiz Micro (The Last Ship's Ebon Moss-Bachrach).
